Default Auto number a column in table using SEQ

Yes, I guess a cell containing any text. What I have is a table where
the first column is a sequential number, automatically generated for
each new row. I am currently creating that number just using standard
list numbering. I did have my field (outside of the table) simply doing
a COUNT on that first column but that doesn't work. I am guessing that
is because Word doesn't recognise the content of the field as being
numeric?!? So if I use the code described by Greg, how do I ensure that
is pointed to that specific table (as my document has a few other
tables in it). When I was trying to do this using COUNT I had
bookmarked the table in question and used that bookmark name in the
COUNT function. Do I just change the "Set oTbl" statement to point to
the bookmark?
